Our story starts at the turn of the century in 1908, three Guerra Brothers from Starr County went to San Antonio to sell mules. They returned home to the Valley and with the profits, opened a ranching and mercantile store in downtown McAllen. Now, 100 years later, Guerra family descendants have revived this site on 17th street, (originally known as "Guerra Street.") The Patio on Guerra restaurant opened in 2008 in one of the oldest buildings in downtown McAllen. The main dining room is set in the original brick walls of this historic structure. With its comfortable chairs, subtle lighting and linen-topped tables, diners feel the warmth and ambiance of romantic yesteryear. USDA Prime steaks, fresh seafood, regional favorites and our passion to provide excellent service make for a memorable experience whether you choose our main dining room or lovely outdoor patio surrounded by tall delicate palm trees. Recipient of the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence 2011 to 2019.

    Always great food and ambiance. Disappointed in our waitress Annette, she rarely stopped by to see what we needed. Never saw her after dinner was served.

    MCALLEN, TX Our experience really did take us out of the valley and felt like we were tourist in our own city, starting from the entrance we were warmly welcomed, complimentary water was brought almost immediately as we were seated. Our table was decorated as we requested, the staff had a great attitude, very well informed of their menu.. as should be. Absolutely not a hair out of place, safe to say The Patio on Guerra is on the top list for positive experience in every aspect. I cannot even begin with the food, the chef loves what he does, you can see it, you can taste it. Experiences like these make my heart smile, you don’t see genuine who hearted service much anymore, as I previously mentioned, the food is just a topic you must try yourself. A big thank you to the staff of this establishment. God bless this business, the staff and those who visit.
